Comment #2 on issue 31033 by js...@chromium.org: comments.people.com.cn :  
characters garbled inside frame (charset misidentified)
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=31033

<iframe marginheight="0"
src="http://comments.people.com.cn/bbs_new/app/src/main/?action=board_hits&amp;bid=8634035&amp;page=1";
scrolling="no" frameborder="0" height="173"></iframe>

The garbled text is inside the iframe above whose src url is

http://comments.people.com.cn/bbs_new/app/src/main/?action=board_hits&amp;bid=8634035&amp;page=1

which is redirected to (with HTTP 302 : moved temporarily)

http://comments.people.com.cn/bbs_new/filepool/data/board_hits/common_default.html

, which is served without charset specified either in HTTP C-T header or  
meta tag
inside the file.

IIRC, if the main frame and a subframe belong to the same host, the webkit  
lets the
subframe inherit charset from the main frame (which does have charset  
explicitly
specified).

In this case, a redirection with HTTP 301 seems to somehow block that  
inheritance.

Safari has the same issue. After making a reduced test case, we have to  
upstream this
to the webkig bugzilla.
